Range, I’d guess. From what I’ve read, the base they’re using to resupply is more than 2,000 miles away. I don’t think helicopters fly that far without refueling.
If you don’t already, actively search for some time to spend by yourself. Don’t text people. Don’t go on social media (even here). Do a quiet activity (read a book, draw, write, etc.) or meditate for an hour. Feel only your thoughts.
Next time you’re with a group that isn’t all extroverts, maybe try a mini version of just existing. Appreciate silence.
All I can really think of — I honestly think both parts of these meme are reductive and inaccurate af.
Wow, that is a lot of very specific stuff to know that I would never have guessed. I can’t decide if this means I don’t spend enough time on here or if I need to spend way less.
Seems like he’s being facetious throughout, so probably using France since they tend to actually do things when their government does something dumb/fascist.
This has been hands-down some of the best drama I’ve seen on the Fediverse. I assume there’s some sick part of my brain that just loves it when someone doubles down on a bad decision.
If you can’t tell the difference between random white people on the internet complaining about a film adaptation of the Odyssey and the author of Earthsea not liking the TV show they made about her books just because they’re both fictional narratives, you might be a bit out of your depth in attempting to critique Le Guin about anything.
There isn’t a shortage of movies. I’m willing to bet someone is out there pandering to your preference for historically accurate skin tone in fictional stories where it’s barely described and has no meaning in relation to the plot.
If seeing a black person in a movie ruins the “myth representation” for you, maybe just skip going to see it. No one’s going to drag you to a theatre and strap you into a chair.
Bullshit. It’s a modern take on an ancient myth where half the characters are barely described physically. Nothing about people who never existed can be miscast by skin color, unless you’re going to try to tell me that this is meant to be a historical reenactment of, again, events that never happened.
I suppose Charybdis could be miscast if they used a kangaroo, but frankly I haven’t seen the movie and don’t know if that part is even depicted.

Totally read this as “GE and Satan” the first time and thought “oh, well, that makes sense then.”

Back to the House.

Inhofe. He’s dead.
Was thinking of moving back there recently. If they killed 794, it’d just be another good reason to.
Or! You’re too interesting and they can’t quit you.

I hadn’t heard of it before, but it looks interesting. What makes it the best for you?
I mean a lot of feet come in pairs.
Well that’ll definitely make them resilient in the face of adversity, at the very least.
Then I have misunderstood you entirely, and I apologize.

If only they’d forced them to agree to never implement it as part of the settlement agreement.
Maybe skip those too, then ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Okay that’s even funnier than I expected, thanks. It’s been awhile, but I don’t remember Helen’s paleness having any particular relevance to the plot.
